Mongolian Beef: Make Your Favorite Take Out at Home

November 21, 2017 Filed Under: Main Courses with Meat

Do you love Chinese take out as much as I do? One of my favorite dishes to order is Mongolian Beef. Did you know it was ridiculously easy to make at home?

Start your rice cooking, then get started on this delicious stir fry and both should finish at the same time, in under 30 minutes!

I usually sauté some vegetables to go along side. Or you can toss them in with the beef, or make a salad (this Sesame Celery Salad is a good choice)

The recipe is mild but flavorful. If you want to up the heat a bit add some red pepper flakes, or maybe some crushed Szechuan pepper.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅔ cups brown sugar
  • 3 scallions green parts only, cut in 1 inch pieces
  • sesame seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • Slice steak against the grain in 1/4 inch thin strips then 1-2 inches long. Coat with cornstarch and set aside.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a small saucepot over medium-low heat and add the ginger and garlic. Sauté about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce, water and brown sugar. Increase the heat to medium. Bring the sauce to a boil for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Add 1/2 cup oil to a wok or large skillet (preferably cast iron) and turn heat to medium high. Once oil is hot add beef and cook until seared (dark brown) on all sides – about 2 minutes. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain. Pour off any excess oil.
  • Add beef and sauce back to the wok and bring to a boil, stirring gently, for 2 minutes. Mix in scallion tops. Serve with rice or noodles. Top with sesame seeds if desired.
